Hot Chocolate and China

This is Charis's birthday week. So, I decided to buy hot chocolate and allow her to drink one cup per day until it runs out. This morning she insisted on using the Jemina Puddle-Duck china cup which was given to her by Aunt Alice. I decided to let my child use china. I don't want to keep it locked up for vanity purposes-only to be taken out once a year and have it marveled at. Ironically, she has not broken any china plates or bowls, but has broken one everyday cup.﻿﻿

This is such a special moment for Mother and Daughter :) I'm sure she will treasure that you captured this moment for her. I love that she gets to do special treats for her birthday week, also! How special :)

Happy birthday, Charis! Yep, I let my littles use china. :) Gemma even has some sort of china tea set (it was really cheap from Job Lot!) and all the pieces have broken several times and been glued. Lately I've been giving Ruth her food in either a little Pyrex dish or her Beatrix Potter bowls. Highly approve. :)

I haven't let my LO use china yet...he's only 9 mos! But I plan to, as I am a firm believer that dishes should be used and enjoyed, and how else to have them learn that some things are delicate? Yes we'll start with thrift-shop oddballs, but eventually we'll get to the good stuff. :-)
